The Royal Tenenbaums

The Wexner Center brings the big screen outside for the Wex Drive-In series of free open-air film screenings on the Wexner Center Plaza. Bring blankets or lawn chairs for seating at these festive, informal events. All Drive-In movies start at dusk (generally around 9 PM), but you are invited to come at 8 PM to choose your spot and enjoy the company of friends and fellow film fans. On tap for the evening: beer from Seventh Son Brewing and wine from our cash bar, plus Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams (with a free scoop for members), Pam’s Market Popcorn, and pizza from Mikey’s Late Night Slice.

Wes Anderson’s modern classic The Royal Tenenbaums kicks off our popular summer outdoor Wex Drive-In series in style!

A true American original, the film has the perfect balance of comedy, drama, and unforgettable characters as it tells the story of an eccentric family’s eventful reunion. Three former child prodigies return home to settle accounts with their estranged father in this comic fairytale with an all-star cast in peak form. Starring Gene Hackman, Anjelica Huston, Ben Stiller, Gwyneth Paltrow, Luke Wilson, Owen Wilson (who cowrote the film), Bill Murray, and Danny Glover. (110 mins., 35mm)
